DS (18 months) has never been the best sleeper.
Recently started to have a few nights sleeping through, but usually wakes at around midnight and sometimes at 3-4am ish. Normally has a bf and goes straight back to sleep until around 7am.
He settles well at bedtime with bf; often goes down in cot awake and has a bit of a sing and chat before dropping off.
However on monday night he woke at 0215, had bf and then was wide awake wanting to play and howling if left in his cot until 0500 when he eventually settled back down with a fair bit of shushing and back rubbing.
Last night same performance from 0415 - 0530, ended up sleeping on the pull out bed in the nursery with DP.
He rarely cries, but I did try and leave him for 10-15 mins last night and he was sobbing and shouting for me.
I'm reluctant to go down the letting him in bed with us road, which we haven't been down thus far.
I've been pretty good with the broken sleep so far but losing 2-3 hours a night is a killer.
Please help!
